Russian news site Fontanka.ru published images of several articles on Sunday, which it said were taken during a raid on Wagner leader Yevgeny Prigozhin’s headquarters in St Petersburg – as the uprising against the Russian authorities was continuing.

After Prigozhin announced a full retirement, documentation of the images on the Russian site was removed, according to the independent site Jellyfish Monday.

Meduza released the images of what would have been the entire find, which included several passports with photos of Prigozhin – but under different names, five kilograms of gold, US dollars, six pistols and several kilograms of gunpowder white.

One of the passports, which was said to be identical to the one found at the headquarters during the search, was used by Prigozhin’s double-back in 2020, according to Lithuanian authorities.

– The passport, issued to the Prigozhin lookalike, was used in 2020 in an information attack against Lithuania, the Lithuanian Security Service said in a post on Facebook.

This is reported by several media on Wednesday, among others Sky News and the news agency Reuterswho both write that the aim of the attack must have been to create a scandal in Lithuania with the aim of undermining European solidarity.

This by giving the impression that the leader of Wagner had defied the imposed sanctions by then going to Lithuania.

The discovery at Wagner’s chief’s headquarters again creates speculation about Prigozhin’s involvement in the attack, Reuters reports.

– Lithuanian intelligence services consider the document to be proof that the information attack was carried out by subjects controlled by Prigozhin, possibly in consultation with the Russian regime’s secret service, the post continues.
